One half of Little & Large has died - Edward McGinnis, the real name behind comic Eddie Large, contracted coronavirus while in hospital and died at the age of 78.
He and Syd Little - real name Cyril Mead - became British comedy icons through the 70s and 80s after winning the nation's hearts on ITV talent show Opportunity Knocks in 1971.
From there, the duo carved out an impressive, decade-crossing career.
The BBC's The Little and Large Show, aired at primetime on a Saturday evening, and drew near 15 million viewers at its peak.
With Eddie as the funnyman and Syd as the straight-laced foil, the show ran for a whopping 13 years - but was cancelled in the early 90s.
But where did the two go?
In 2010, Eddie gave a starkly honest interview, in which he described how the pair had drifted out of touch.
He told TV Times: "I haven't seen Syd for years.
"He lives up near Blackpool and I live near Bristol, so I haven't spoken to him for a long time."
Eddie, who at the time was starring in a BBC Three comedy called Dappers, told that he'd had a transplant some years before - and that the stress of touring was what caused the problems.
Admitting that he doesn't miss stand-up, Eddie told that the travel across the country was the reason behind the issues with his heart.
He also touched on The Little and Large Show's cancellation, revealing: "The BBC kicked us out because the ratings went down to about eight million."
Syd, meanwhile, now 77, headed to the kitchen to lend a helping hand at his wife's restaurant.
At the Little Restaurant in the Steamer pub in Fleetwood, near Blackpool, he's even crafted "The Syd Special" burger.
He's even had a stint on MasterChef.
'I do it for fun really," he told, "My wife doesn't pay me or owt. But it's nice being with her and it is quite good to see what people think.
"People come and then they put on the Internet, 'Oh wow, we couldn't believe it when we were being served by Sid Little.'
"They say to me, 'Why you doing this?' I tell them, 'If I sat at home, I'd be vegetating!'"
He also starred in a 2006 production called The Slammer - about a prison for those who've committed crimes against entertainment.
